Out with the old, in with the new...

The next year will bring some changes for Ceewee Designs. Specifically, I will be retiring some prints that I have had in my studio for some time. I am right now liquidating my stock and hope to have some clearance items from these fabrics soon. I hope to have space on my studio's shelves by late January in anticipation of the arrival of some fresh, new prints.

I have been scouring manufacturers, distributors, and fabric stores in search of a great array of flannel fabrics that will appeal to a wide variety of people. My search has paid off and I am really excited with what I have ordered! The new prints should start arriving after Christmas. I can't wait! (I really need to get out from behind my sewing machine more often)

Stay tuned for announcements of more changes...

Holiday Schedule

So you want a sleep sack, toddler pillow, or blankie for a gift for Christmas? Then here are the official cut-off dates for orders:

Ceewee sleep sacks: 12/8
Ceewee toddler pillows and blankies: 12/18
Studio clearance sale items: 12/19

Additionally, I will be taking a vacation around Christmas so Ceewee Designs Studio will be closed from 12/20 until 12/27. Orders will be taken during that time, but delivery dates will reflect this closing. I need a break from sewing and management to enjoy the holidays.

A final word: I have finally caught up on all my outstanding orders--for the most part--so I will be sewing some more ready made sleep sacks in the coming 2 weeks. I will post the items as they are ready on studio clearance page. What is available on 12/1 will be with my at the St. Matthew's Santa Workshop show here in Charlotte--along with a few things I am saving just for the show. Santa will be there, Boy Scouts selling trees, food, etc. Fun, fun! My items will be on sale that day. The next day (12/2) I will post what is left on the studio clearance page (on clearance, of course), and everything else will be 25% off for 6 days until 12/8. Which is also the last day to order for Christmas. Nice how that worked out! :)
Happy holidays!

OK, OK! Funky Monkey is back. Again.

I am sure Moda has made a mint off of sock monkey fabric by now. Last fall I bought a few yards of some sock monkeys on a beige background as a test. I blinked, and it was sold. I went back to my supplier, but they were all out. I was sad, but I moved on. Then this summer, Moda came out with a whole new line of sock monkey fabric--yeah! I ordered TONS of funky monkey on a banana yellow background. I blinked, and it was sold. I tried to get more again, but again it was gone.

HOWEVER: they did have the some of the same funky monkey on pink, and on blue fabric. I just got it in! It is so cute. I know why they sell out so quickly. There is actually a whole line of fabric with these crazy monkeys--playing jacks, riding a pogp stick, a 'portrait shot'. This pattern is my favorite, though, for sleep sacks.

A word or warning though--I got my supply in this morning and the blue is already half gone. If you like it, order quick!
